I am going to share with you how to understand and optimize your fitness and nutrition based on where you are at in your cycle. I absolutely love this episode because I'm going to teach you how this leads to a well-rounded way of training, a better understanding of your body and your biology, so things just start making sense. That's the big thing with my living in sync method. And what I teach is instead of wondering "why do I have these crazy cravings or why am I not feeling motivated, why am I not sleeping good this week?" Instead of having that, "why am I feeling this way?" You are understanding what's going on in your biology, that your hormones are different based on where you are at in your cycle, and you can bring that better understanding to either give yourself grace or to optimize and work with it. This is also really, really great for having variety in your fitness and nutrition plans.

Understanding your menstrual cycle and cycle syncing can empower you to take control of your health and wellbeing, and to live in harmony with your body's natural rhythms. Understanding cycle syncing (a term from Alisa Vitti) can have numerous benefits for women, both in terms of their physical and mental health. Cycle syncing involves aligning your daily routines, diet, exercise, and other habits with your menstrual cycle, which is a reflection of your body's hormonal fluctuations. By doing so, you can optimize your energy levels, mood, sleep, and productivity, as well as reduce symptoms of PMS and menstrual cramps. But for many women they do not feel they can realistically make life changes because their cycle - and I totally understand that - but understanding your biology will help you better understand yourself.  Alisa Vitti books In the Flo and Woman Code can be found on Amazon Feminine Edge Co.

I have lived through both "hustle culture" and "slow living." Both had their positive and negative impacts on my mental, physcial, and emotional health.  One brought on a lot of "success" while the other left me feeling like I was "missing" something and not living to my maximum potential.  Now I have a beautiful blend of both in what I like to call... Intentionally Busy! Living a full well-rounded life in the midst of a very busy season.  What is Intentionally Busy? Being busy is often perceived as a negative thing in our society, as if it means we're overworked, stressed, and have no time to enjoy life. However, being busy isn't necessarily a bad thing in and of itself. It can be a sign that we're actively pursuing our goals, taking on new challenges, and growing in our personal and professional lives. Being busy can also help us stay engaged and motivated, and can lead to a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. It's important, however, to find a balance between being productive and overworking ourselves, and to make sure we're taking care of our physical and mental health. Ultimately, being busy isn't inherently good or bad—it's all about how we approach it and what we make of our time. Joelle on Instagram

It may be a bit dramatic to say that this night time routine has changed my life. Because I know a lot people hype a morning routine.  Depending on your season of life a morning routine may work, but for right now it just doesnt bring me the peace and productivity it used to.  My evening routine helps me reflect, reset, and feel ready to rest!  What is your evening routine?

What to eat is hard enough - now adding what is going to be hormone supportive feels impossible.  Actually knowing what is support for each phase of your cycle is going to save you time when planning and money because you will have less waste.  For me cycle syncing and living in sync with your cycle means better understanding your biology. A better understanding of why you feel the way that you do. This makes sense when it comes to food, cravings, and meals.  Here are some great meal ideas for each phase.  Feminine Edge Collective  Free Living in Sync Web Class

I am a big weekly planner. I find it sets me up for living intentionally and feeling accomplished.  Here is my strategy for planning my week: 1. Know what phase of my cycle I will be in.  2. Update Calendars and Communication Centers 3. Leave Space for Connection and Space - making sure my "busy" aligns with how I want to intentionally live my life.  Sunday Reset is something that saves me a lot of time and sets the week up for success. I chose a few things that have a ripple effect on saving time in my week so my Sunday reset includes things that streamline things for me and my family.  Free Web Class Feminine Edge Collective

I LOVE HAVING HEART TO HEART CONVERSATIONS!  And this one feels extra special!  For so long I resisted change, trying new things, and felt afraid to step out of "what I said I was going to do."  One of my great friends reminded me "you always have the right to change your mind."  If you feel like you want to make changes in your life, but are afraid of what might happen I am here to share with you the ups, downs, lessons, and excitement that change can bring.  Change does not have to be a huge life pivot but you can start doing things one step at a time and you may "fail" and you WILL learn, which is a beautiful part of life when those lessons bring you more peace.  Feminine Edge Collective  Regulate Podcast Program Joelle on Instagram  Dime Beauty - code JoelleS20 for a discount!

Today we have a great episode on decluttering your home, how to spend less time cleaning, and create a reset routine that makes your home feel tidy and peaceful each and every night.  Our homes are the space and place for us to gather, live, and rest!  While I personally am not a minimalist - I do keep things very simple, clean, and tidy in our home because I want to take care of it. I don't enjoy cleaning, but I do enjoy a peaceful, put together space and while I am in the midst of motherhood with toys all around and some clutter I can still enjoy my home and keep it decluttered.  Lisa's Website Home & Habits Podcast  Kitchen Course
